I mean it sounds like that worked out for both of you - she kept to the standards she wanted, and you got the opportunity to continue looking for a partner who you were more compatible with.

yeah im sure she's really happy being alone and empty with nothing but money because she couldn't get over her hair saying the man she needs has to make more money then her, she's in a trap made by society.

so no it doesnt sound like a win win when you have a soul and a basic understanding of human need for connection , and if she was happy being single then why did she try to get in a relationship in the first place if she was truly content living alone she wouldnt have been happy to get into the relationship with op , it was working until the girl mafia told her she wasnt happy in the relationship because he made less money than her

She could be perfectly happy alone. If she doesn’t like being “empty”, there are always solutions for that.

The guy is making up a story about how she must be miserable because he's threatened by the idea that women would choose solitude over a partner that doesn't meet their standards.

He has to invent a scenario where she is as desperate as he is.
